Cooking Niger

 Gastronomy

Do not come to Niger for the food. Even less so if you go into the desert, where you have to take your own supplies. Millet is cooked into every possible form: as pancakes, gruel or mixed with milk and sugar. In the north, the basic ingredients for most dishes are yoghurt, mutton and rice. Up until Agadez, you will find small places where you can eat in the villages. Those of you who will miss western-style food will have to wait until they reach Niamey, Agadez or Zinder to find restaurants offering rudimentary dishes such as omelette and steak. In other words, what matters in Niger is the scenery.
